Count me in, I am sick of winter
Who on earth has an S1 Elise?!

S1 (Lotus-Honda)

Count me in, I am sick of winter
Who on earth has an S1 Elise?!

Mick, you'll like this. That's Rich's car, and it's not just an S1, it's one of the rare Sun International, Honda-engined cars.


Introduction: Honda-Elise by Sun Speed


I happen to like the looks of the S1 better than the S2.

I'm in! I don't know if I'll have my Elise at that time (insurance nightmare going on more than six months now) but I'll be there

Get Ready! GYLO 7 - Sunday, May 25th, 2014

Less than three weeks to GYLO 7 - our spring 'Get Your Lotus Out' event. Once again, we will hold this at East Market At Fair Lakes. Sunday, May 25th, 2014 from 8:00AM to 10:00AM. (This is Memorial Day Weekend.) We have done 6 of these events before, and sooner or later, we're going to get it right!

We hold the Cars & Coffee events in front of the Starbucks in the East Market at Fair Lakes shopping center - there's also a Kohl's and a Dick's Sporting Goods in the complex. East Market at Fair Lakes is about a 5 minute drive from the intersection of 66 & 286 (Fairfax County Parkway) in Fairfax, VA. You can use your Nav system or MapQuest this parking lot, using the address for Kohl's -

We hope to see you there. Please forward this information to your Lotus friends! A group of us goes to brunch afterwards, around 10:30AM. We will have coupons for 15% off brunch at The Blue Iguana restaurant, right around the corner.

Please RSVP to me, so I know how many parking spaces to reserve. We will have a drawing for door prizes.

Whatever Else You Do, Get Your Lotus Out!

A reminder - we are holding our 7th-ever GYLO (Get Your Lotus Out) event on Sunday, May 25th, from 8:00AM to 10:00AM. That's Memorial Day Weekend. We hold this event at East Market At Fair Lakes in Fairfax, VA. This shopping center is near the junction of 66 and 286 (Fairfax County Parkway), and has a Kohl's and a Dick's Sporting Goods. We cordon off a section of parking spaces, so we can have a contiguous row of Lotus. You can use your NAV system, or MapQuest, (or your trusty, brain-based navigation skills) using the address for Kohl's -

Fairfax, VA 22033

We typically have a good turnout for these events, and this one should be no exception. Come out to see the interesting cars, and the interesting Lotus owners. We will hold a drawing for door prizes for everyone who brings a Lotus car.

We also hold a brunch afterwards, and anyone interested can go with us. We have a deal with The Blue Iguana restaurant, right around the corner, for 15% off of food at brunch. It's a great place to sit outside, eat, and talk cars.

Please RSVP to me, so I know how many parking spaces to reserve.

Thanks - see you there!

Looks like a really great mix of Lotus at past GYLO events. Unfortunately that weekend for us is jam packed with other things...primarily a crab feast each day!

At a previous-year GYLO, one of the attendees set up his laptop on the back of his Elise (DWilde?). He was using a broadband connection, and streaming the F1 coverage. It can be done.

East Market at Fair Lakes, Fairfax, VA.
Sunday, May 25th, 2014 8:00AM - 10:00AM

If you haven't RSVP'd yet, you should. We've had a good response, (between 20 and 25 cars confirmed as of this morning), with more model variety than ever before. We will have door prizes, as well as a 'favorite Lotus', by popular vote.

All I can say is, "Don't miss this event!"

Please RSVP to me, so I know approximately how many parking spaces to cordon off.

You can use your Nav system or MapQuest this parking lot, using the address for Kohl's -

Bob...status is morphing. I'm 50/50 that I can make it, so save me half a parking space.

Growing GYLO

Todd:

I've heard your Europa is gorgeous; hope we have the chance to see it Sunday.

Currently, I have 21 positive confirmations, and 6 possibles. I'd also expect a couple of people show up I haven't heard from. Sounds like a pretty good turnout, and I know everyone will love the variety of models we will have in attendance.

Weather looks amazing - isn't this a good excuse to get out and drive your Lotus, and meet like-minded folks?

Oh, and Mark Franke has been making the rounds of vendors, collecting door prizes... You really should not miss this!

Thanks,

--Bob Collum

 

[mOlson]

RRT is providing a $100 gift certificate as one of the many door prizes Mark and Bob have been working hard to collect.

The gift certificate is good for any service or products we sell including:

- Alignment and corner balancing

-Touchless tire mounting and Road Force balancing

- Damper rebuilds or custom valving

-Schroth harnesses

-Or any other of our performance partner products including Motul and Ohlins, many of which are sold through our eStore

 

[Almighty]

I really wish I could make it to this event. Unfortunately it's just really bad timing. Hope you guys have fun and take lots of pics!
